The lead grunt however, isn't as optimistic as you are about the sudden entrance, "Who the hell...What kind of people are these!? What Pokemon do you even give to these guys!?"
Red Eyes shakes his head, "Pokemon? No, no, my Superhuman Masterrace and I don't adhere to such foolish global rules. We are an organization fixated on one thing and one thing only, the seizing of the entire world and all its powers--"
The floating wraith is interrupted by the grunt, "Fat chance! Houndour, FLAMETHROWER!"
"HOOOOOOOOUND!" the hellhound sucks in his chest, and lets out a blazing trail of flames that attack Red Eyes head-on. The grunt smirks at this achievement, letting cockiness get the better of him.
"Heh! What a wuss, he talks shit but can't walk on it!"
Yet, as the fires continue to incinerate him alive, it soon becomes clear that this actually isn't the case. In fact, what's happening is the exact opposite. They don't appear to be consuming him, but rather, *he* seems to be the one absorbing them.
He absorbs the flames into his coat, causing a scarlet aura to cover his body. He then sucker punches the Houndour at the speed of a charging locomotive.
"Hoooooound!" the dog skids across the cement, hitting the side of a building and losing a majority of HP.
"What the, Houndour!" the grunt turns to his fallen comrade, then snaps back to Red Eyes, "How the hell did you--"
"The flames. They give me strength. Don't even bother using them against me unless you want a quick, painless death.."
You've had just about enough, "Now wait a second here, who says you get to interrupt this festival, cause a ruckus, threaten to BLOW UP the city, and then punch a dog in the face?! That's just...that's just mean! Stop that!"
